The head coach of the "Liverpool" club, Arne Slot, during the pre-match press conference against London’s "Crystal Palace," denied rumors about a punishment for Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa’s inclusion in the Champions League roster instead of Giovanni Leoni:

H. Ekitike did not receive any punishment. I spoke with him. He immediately apologized to all of his teammates.

In this club, a player is allowed to make a mistake and not be punished. He is young and also a fantastic person.

We have been monitoring this process, like many people. If I am properly informed and the player is injured for two months or more, we can replace him. That is what we did.

Hugo Ekitike, after scoring a goal in added time of the "Carabao" cup, removed his shirt and saw a second yellow card in front of him.
